Such big logs hand built by the owners, the massive rock fireplace, everything about the place is open space, big sky, big mountains, big bright stars, comfort, quality, beauty, private, quiet, animals, all in the mountains next to Yellowstone Park. What a great time for all our family and friends, come and go as we please to the park, fishing yellowstone river, horseback riding and zip lining right next door over a hill. There are restored family homestead log cabins down on the creek below the lodge which you don't see. They are all nice, clean, comfortable, cozy beds, trampolines for good exercise after being in the car, lots of room for the kids to run, the dogs, cats, and horses all love the attention, very friendly. The buffalo weren't brought back to the ranch yet because of the wolf activity and owner says wolves haven't bothered the horses too much, must prefer elk & buffalo meat over horse. Us too. It's a maintained mountain road with a stunning creek with lots of water/rock action that runs the whole way. Animals in the way at bottom of road, elk came in early morning to deal with their hidden babies, don't try to take one of these babies home, leave them alone for their mama to come back for them. Loved loved loved it.

It is in Emigrant a small town that boasts a great bakery and great BBQ in the warm season. To get to and from the Cabin you drive through the Chico Hot Springs Resort. In addition to hot springs Chico has a riding stable and adventure company for white water, scenic floats and hiking. This is nice if you don't want to drive to Gardiner some days. There is also a nice hike to a falls just up the road from the cabin. The cabin itself was excellent. We were there on some hot days and the cabin stayed cool if you closed the blinds as instructed. There was a full kitchen and while fussy cook husband might have wanted sharper knives for prep work he managed to make some fine meals. He also used the charcoal grill but the black flies were thick in the heat. Better him than me! Happily the long porch facing the stream is fully screened. No biting things there. The porch had a casual dining table and glider bench. The cabin had two bedrooms and one and a half baths. The half bath was in a utility room which included a washer and dryer. Priceless! There was also a comfy living room with two sofas and a glider chair. We never used the TV but it was there too. The cabin had wifi thankfully because there wasn't much cell reception. Basically it was a great place to get away, listen to the creek at night and relax.

Ascend Properties recently oversaw the complete updating of our bedrooms, creating a beautiful rustic modern look.

Stainless steel appliances, flat screen tv, brand new bathroom, washer/dryer. This is the perfect place to call home after a long day of Montana adventures! Prices are very reasonable, too. We stayed in the 2 bedroom, 1 bath "Creekside" cottage and I believe it was just $220/night! The super 8 motel down the street charges $250/room. There is a front and back porch. Back porch looks over small bubbling stream. It is very relaxing! Highly recommend Brook Trout Inn!

We had plenty of room for everyone. Of the 8 bedrooms, 6 have king size beds, and two of them have private full baths. There are 3 additional full baths for the others. The cabin itself is pretty new, so everything was clean and in working order. The location is very close to the west entrance to the park, and is convenient to downtown shops and restaurants. The kitchen had plenty of plates, silverware, pots and pans, etc. I was especially impressed with the quality of the pots and pans, very nice for a rental. The cabin also has a full sized washer and dryer, which was very convenient. The WIFI was available, but I have to say it is not very fast. Considering the location, this was not too surprising. There were no problems with billing, or unexpected charges. Overall a great choice for a large party, I highly recommend this location!

I've never fly fished in my life (TBH, I rarely even FISH). So when I learned our 2022 corporate…read moreleadership trip would be a 3-night fly fishing excursion on Montana's Madison River, I was honestly skeptical. But not did I learn how to cast a fly (and land a Trout!), but my visit to Madison Valley Ranch ended up being one of the best trips I've ever taken. From the moment you walk in the door, the ranch rolls out the red carpet. After being welcomed with a cold draft beer and tour of the property, we settled into our very comfortable guest rooms to unwind before dinner. Whether you plan to fly fish or not, the entire ranch is designed to make you feel at ease, and at home -- from the incredible back porch views to the outrageously good dishes served up at every meal. Manu and her team take customer service to a new level, from equipping you for an incredible day on the river to selecting the perfect bottle of Cabernet to pair with your dinner. No detail is too small for them, and no request goes unmet. The accommodations are as comfortable as any 4-star hotel, the meals as delicious as any gourmet restaurant, and the views as beautiful as a slice of heaven. And with ample meeting space for corporate groups, its the perfect setting for a team-building escape. I simply can't say enough about Madison Valley Ranch -- whether you're an experienced fisherman or just learning to cast a fly, it's hard to imagine a better place in America to put your rod into the river.

The care and pride they have in their cabins are well deserved. I think Pete is the moose whisperer. Twice I have been invited to see the moose mom and kid(s) from the deck of Carol and Pete's house. If you are having separation anxiety from your pup, Kelly is there to help you cope. When you come to Montana, this is the perfect place to stay while you enjoy Yellowstone, only a mile away.

We saw moose, deer (within 10 feet of our cabin porch) and birds we had never seen before!

It thundered and rained nearly every day but for short times, so that no plans were spoiled.

Jimmy was our guide and he was absolutely fantastic! He and I were chatting most of the time but he also was really engaged with my daughters as well. I rode Hoofy, my oldest rode Star, and my youngest rode Trigger. The horses were great! We enjoyed the trail, crossing through water a couple times, resting out by Grizzly Lake, and then heading back to where we started. We got to trot quite a bit too!
